" When I was your age Jazz and Swing was the rage and ’though it wasn’t easy
We stayed together through 'Stormy Weather' your father and me"

Lyrics

AWAY WITH YOU - c Wayne Gillespie 1984 (Key Cm)

1) The washing and ironing after work it’s so tiring
Then the choice between bacon or stew
What can I say you know there’s hardly a day goes by
That I’m not thinking of you
And ‘though we’re creatures of habit still I know that I’ve had it
Up to here with the old routine
You sound so exciting you sound so inviting
When you tell me the places you’ve been.

Chorus:
And then you pull me away, you pull me away
From the life that I once knew
I’m shaken and torn just what have I gone
And got myself into

But there’s one thing you should know
Is that I just can’t go….

Away with you ……. Away with you.

2) It’s the way that you smile at me once in a while
It’s the way that you’re someone new
What can I say there’s hardly a day goes by
That I’m not thing of you

Chorus:
As you pull me away, you pull me away
From the life that I once knew
I’m shaken and torn it’s so right it’s so wrong
I just don’t know what to do

Until you stair out that window
Then I know that I won’t go…

Away with you ……. Away with you.

3) The local DJ says ‘Have a nice day” but I guess it will just be the same
Waking at six taking care of the kids, my mother says
“Now you shouldn’t complain
When I was your age Jazz and Swing was the rage and ’though it wasn’t easy
We stayed together through “Stormy Weather” your father and me”

Don’t let him pull you away, don’t let him pull you away
From the life that you once knew
But me I’m shaken and torn
perhaps even born to be with you

And as I stair out that window
I hope that I can go ….

Away with you ……. Away with you.

4) But those questions and lies those false alibis
Somehow they don’t seem right
It’s the ins and the outs, the fears and the doubts
That gives me such a fright

As you pull me away, you pull me away
From the life that I once knew
I’m shaken and torn glad yet forlorn
‘Cos I know what I must do

But there’s one thing you should know
Is that “I love you so” …now be

Away with you …
Away with you…
Away with you.
